Introducing the latest bizarre travel trend taking over Instagram.

There’s a new travel trend taking over Instagram and it’s, well, just a little bit cheeky.

Travellers are stopping to admire some of the most sought-after spots in the world – and after taking in the view of the Golden Gate Bridge or the sheer magic of the Northern Lights – they’re dropping their dacks and taking a ‘bum selfie’.
